Chapter 117: Battle Over
Just as everyone relaxed,
"Whoosh!"
Another arrow shot out.
The target wasn't Shi Lin and Shi An, but Ma Hongjun!
Ma Hongjun instinctively lowered his head, protecting his chest with his hands.
"Bang!"
The arrow struck Ma Hongjun directly in the chest.
The arrow's power wasn't enough to penetrate Ma Hongjun's armor, so it only knocked him down.
Ma Hongjun's strength was simply inferior to Shi Lin's; there was nothing he could do, since Ma Hongjun had never eaten the beast meat produced by the Beast Meat Gu.
Shi Lin noticed the situation and, seeing that the arrow had only knocked Ma Hongjun down, breathed a sigh of relief.
The opposing archers were dumbfounded.
Two front-line tanks having high defense was one thing, but were these mages this tanky too?
Could it be that his arrows were malfunctioning?
Just then, Oscar suddenly appeared behind the archer.
"Whoosh!"
A dozen bamboo leaves were instantly released, riddling the archer with holes.
Actually, when the stone landed, Oscar's soul power had recovered to about 70-80%, but he didn't rashly join the battle.
Oscar knew his combat strength wasn't that high, so he needed to use surprise tactics.
When the archer first attacked Shi Lin, Oscar had already located him. He scrambled and crept up to the archer's vicinity, waiting for him to fire the arrow at Ma Hongjun. Just as Ma Hongjun was regretting his actions, Oscar rushed out and killed the archer with a bamboo leaf Gu.
Ma Hongjun felt a tightness in his chest, but it wasn't a big problem. After taking a bite of the sausage Oscar had made, he stood up and continued to control the fire Gu to attack.
With three combatants lost, the opposing bandits' fighting strength had clearly decreased significantly.
"You guys hold this guy off, I'll go kill those little brats!" The level 30+ bandit leader snarled at the Soul Master beside him.
Then he punched Shi An hard and retreated from the battle!
"Don't hurt my young master!" Shi An roared, preparing to use his second soul skill to attack!
"Trying to leave? Did you ask us first?" The other bandits swarmed forward, blocking Shi An's path as he tried to break free.
Surrounded by these people, Shi An's eyes instantly turned red.
His young master might not be a match for this bandit leader.
After Shi An's outburst, the bandits were somewhat afraid, so none of them dared to advance, only able to continuously harass Shi An with ranged attacks.
"Focus fire, kill this level 30+ one first!" Shi Lin's eyes were bloodshot, wielding a short sword and advancing instead of retreating!
"Clang!"
With the sound of short swords clashing, the next second, Shi Lin was sent flying.
Level 30 soul power not only raises a soul master's soul power ceiling but also their physical strength.
Even if Shi Lin is a genius, he's only six years old and hasn't completed his physical development.
Ma Hongjun, Lin Yu, and Oscar abandoned their attacks on the others and focused all their efforts on this level 30+ soul master.
"Third Soul Skill! Thunderous Slash!"
With a roar, a purple blade of light, several meters long, appeared above the bandit leader's head.
"Go!"
With the bandit leader's angry shout,
the purple blade of light flew towards Shi Lin.
"Damn it! You think I'm easy to bully?" Shi Lin also roared angrily, then turned and ran.
After creating enough distance, Shi Lin stopped.
"Boom!"
The purple blade of light slammed into the ground, carving a foot-deep dent.
"Get him!" Shi Lin roared, charging forward before the bandit leader could conjure another blade of light, engaging him in close combat.
Shi Lin knew the bandit leader couldn't penetrate the armor's defenses, so every attack was reckless.
However, the bandit leader's soul power level was thirty, and even Shi Lin's suicidal fighting style only had limited effect.
If it weren't for the cooperation of Ma Hongjun and the others, Shi Lin would have already been defeated.
Just then, a bold idea struck Shi Lin: the sharpness of the spatial blade far surpassed that of his broken sword!
Shi Lin suddenly had a brilliant thought: wouldn't condensing the spatial blade without unleashing it conserve more soul power, and could it also be used as a short sword?
No sooner said than done, a black spatial blade condensed on Shi Lin's fist. Sure enough, once condensed, it required very little soul power to maintain its existence.
However, the spatial blade could only cover the fist, its edge only an inch long.
But that was enough.
Shi Lin deliberately created an opening, causing the bandit leader to knock his short knife away. Taking advantage of this opening, Shi Lin punched the bandit leader directly in the abdomen.
"Pfft!"
The spatial blade exploded at point-blank range, slicing the bandit leader in two!
After confirming the bandit leader was dead, Shi Lin slumped to the ground and instinctively pulled out a sausage and started gnawing on it.
Ma Hongjun, Lin Yu, and Oscar had no chance to rest and immediately switched their firepower to attack the other bandits.
Having lost their leader, Shi Lin, having regained his strength, rejoined the battle.
After two hours of bloody fighting, the battle finally ended.
Shi Lin and the others sat exhausted on the ground, panting heavily.
"Oscar, hurry up and make some sausages. Lin Yu, Old Ma, you two go and loot the corpses, take all the valuables. The commotion here is quite loud; don't let anyone steal our spoils. After we've packed everything up, we need to leave immediately." Shi Lin, panting heavily, assigned tasks to the people in front of him.
"Okay!" everyone responded and got to work.
Soon, Oscar had made several sausages. Shi An and Shi Lin sat on the ground, not caring about appearances, and munched on the sausages.
A few minutes later, Lin Yu and the others had examined all the corpses, finding three soul tools and dozens of gold soul coins.
"Young Master, we've looted everything. What do we do next?" Lin Yu handed the looted items to Shi Lin in a bundle.
"Get in the carriage, let's get out of here!" Shi Lin waved, then struggled to his feet and climbed into the carriage.
Ma Hongjun and Oscar drove, with Shi An and Shi Lin sitting in the passenger compartment.
"Young Master, are you alright?" Shi An asked Shi Lin, panting heavily.
"Hehe, not quite dead yet..." Shi Lin laughed heartily at Shi An.
Meanwhile, in the distant woods, Flander, grinning, adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and then snapped the neck of the gang leader beside him.
Flander transformed into a streak of black light and soared into the sky, disappearing from the scene.
